The first is my entry in the Traditional category - my cathedral windows block. You can read more about this block here.
I loved making this block. It was the first time I attempted something that was way out of my comfort zone, but it ended up being a lot easier to tackle than I'd anticipated. It was just time-consuming. I used Heather's tutorials (parts 1 and 2) from House of A La Mode. This was also the first time I made a project completely out of solids. I guess for that reason, I could have entered this block in the Modern category too.
The second is my entry in the Modern category - a modified hourglass block (in its unpressed state no less).
If you'd like to read about how I constructed this block, you can click here for the details.
Now, head on over to Quilt Story to check out the other entries. There are so many great blocks - I've added several of them to my to-try-someday list.
